In Göteborg there are so many people with forklift truck licences that it´s become very hard to get this line of work. You can try the "bemanning" companies like Manpower etc but honestly there are hundreds of unemployed truck drivers at the moment. I would recommend when you arrive knocking on doors on the Ringön and Import/Exportgatan area.

I wish you the best of luck

You might have better luck as a painter as it is on the occupational shortage list. The Swedish language requirement is also easier. For house painting you need to learn just two words, röd and gul.
